And if this time or location is bad, there is another school, run by the same people, in October at Henricus VA, just south of Richmond.

Well worth it. I took some students a few years back and we had a blast.

I'm working on the 22nd unfortunately or I would go back.

This is their 10th year at this site, and they're hoping for a real good turnout.

This is some of what I do for fun over the summer , although we finish about the date you start.

Should be terrific fun for anyone attending, both young and old.

Hope you get a terrific turnout and some good weather. Have fun.
